Hello from the Critique Club-
In all senses, your entry meets the prompt from the challenge. There is obvious motion in the streaking of the “subject” if you will, and one would be hard-pressed to find a reason why this is not abstract. The hues are slightly warm, but also at the same time ominous. If colors were ever brooding, they would search for this as inspiration. I especially like how what I guess are the folds of the tissue seamlessly meld into the rest of the image, creating shadows that aren’t quite explainable since there’s seemingly nothing there. Very ephemeral, transitory. The wide variety of colors present is very nice. It isn’t quite an orange, or a green, or really a brown either, but alternately each in their own due place and time. In contrast to this smoothness and flowing is the one area where there is much of any definition. The angular lines of what I’m assuming to be the edge of the tissue stand out nicely, and although they appear to be the only “permanent” or definite thing present, they too streak off into nothingness. I like that there is this apparent existence of something, if there wasn’t anything at all “solid” this wouldn’t be as interesting visually, but having that transitionâ€Â¦ solid into ether or ether into solidâ€Â¦ which way are things going. Very nice. I would assume this was ironically a bit TOO abstract for many voters in this challenge, unfortunately, but I find it quite nice.

| This shot, to me, seems to be more of a blur effect than abstract motion. |

| I'm not really sure what to think about this one actually. It's a little haunting, and the toning helps give it that feel, but there's also something a little off-putting about it. Perhaps that's a strength. |

| Before I took photos for this challenge, I probably wouldn't have liked it. Now I think it's interesting. looks like sunrays coming out of a sharks mouth. |
